Reason for factory closure

The company said that the reason for the decrease in sales is the factory being closed for a few days. Hero MotoCorp had stopped work at its Dharuhera, Gurugram, Haridwar, and Neemrana factories from 17 to 19 April 2025. This was done so that the supply of goods could be fixed, the factory could be repaired, and some new things could be added. The company says that everything will be fine from May 2025 and vehicles will be made and sold again like before.

People still bought a lot of vehicles, VIDA scooter sales increased

Even though the company sent fewer vehicles, people bought a lot of vehicles. In April 2025, more than 5.05 lakh VAHAN registrations of Hero’s petrol-diesel vehicles were done, that is, people are still liking Hero’s vehicles. The company said that its sales share is increasing every month in 2025. Hero’s electric scooter brand VIDA also had good sales. In April 2025, 7,116 units of VIDA V2 electric scooter were dispatched, and 6,123 units were registered in VAHAN, which is much higher than last year. This shows that VIDA is becoming increasingly popular in the electric scooter market.

What will happen next?

April 2025 was difficult for Hero MotoCorp, but the company hopes that things will improve from May. The future of the company looks good due to the demand of the people and the increasing sales of VIDA electric scooter. Hero MotoCorp is trying to make good vehicles for its customers and maintain its place in the market.
